    try using non adjustable inner covers on the outsides - (opoposite sides ) may need a small self tapper at the top but does the job

    You can make them out of the inner covers but it looks better if you make them yourself.

    Just go to a model shop and get some black plastic sheet or if you can get it carbon fibre sheet

    I would LOVE to fit mine but soe ******* stole them!!!!

    If you use the inner covers you have to loose the window surround trims.

    I would just get some black plastic sheeting and cut some out.

    Right, I have them inner cover's at the house anyway, so i suppose it would do no harm cutting and fibreglassing them to fit right.

    If that fail's, i'll go for some sheet plastic and make some.

    Cheers for the advice folks!!

    yeah I suppose you could just trim and rub them down to fit in with the surrounds.

    I bought some carbon fibre plates already cut to shape off someone else on here.

    You'll love the way the mirrors look but you'll HATE the visibility.
